Link with the university's research priorities

Scientific Center for Information Technology Design (ITeG): The ITeG brings together working groups from various specialist areas. Five members of the faculty from the fields of business informatics, psychology and law are part of the directorate. Contributions to the research focus are made in particular with regard to the formal and informal acquisition of skills in the workplace and in everyday (professional) life. In addition to the economic and social assessment of this form of skills acquisition and the handling of the resulting opportunities and risks at company level, the ITEG's interdisciplinary orientation also allows its social impact to be examined.
International Center for Higher Education Research Kassel (INCHER): INCHER-Kassel is one of the leading research institutions on the topic of "Higher Education in Germany". Research at INCHER focuses on "Students and Graduates", "Academic Change", "Innovation and Transfer" and "Governance and Organization". The focus area "Students and graduates", which relates to the university's teaching and training mission, has a direct connection to KENT. Graduate research is of particular importance for this research focus. However, the INCHER focus area "Innovation and Transfer" is also relevant for KENT, as skills development is influenced by technical and social innovations.

Its members pursue the jointly identified lines of research a) competencies in the field of entrepreneurial thinking and acting, b) fields of activity and activities of company founders and intrapreneurs or corporate entrepreneurs and c) environment, surroundings and structures for entrepreneurial thinking and acting.
